Most of the worst pest problems in Weslaco properties stayed hidden for months before discovery. Where the pressure hides matters as much as what it is.
Plant selection and mosquito pressure
Ornamental bromeliads and other water-holding plants on Weslaco patios breed Aedes aegypti year-round. The water held in the leaf axils — invisible from above — produces continuous mosquito populations independent of yard treatment.
Field experience across Weslaco properties consistently confirms this pattern matters more than statewide averages suggest.
Mature oak hollows on Weslaco properties
Natural water-holding tree cavities on mature oaks in Weslaco yards breed mosquitoes through the active season. Filling tree holes with sand or expanding foam eliminates a breeding source most owners don't recognize as a problem.
Property owners who get ahead of this pattern see substantially fewer recurring issues than those who don't.
How many breeding sites a typical property has
Mosquito inspections of Weslaco properties walk the entire perimeter looking for water-holding features — items inverted by rain, leaf-clogged drains, decorative containers, irrigation overspray pools. Most properties have 8-15 breeding sources at any given time.
Homeowners assessing pest risk in Weslaco should weight this consideration alongside species identification.
Why ground cover matters more than turfgrass
Adult mosquitoes spend daylight hours resting in dense foliage 3-8 feet off the ground. Treatment that targets these resting zones — not just open lawn area — produces durable reduction. Shrubs, hedge interiors, and ground-cover vegetation matter more than turfgrass.
